My gorgeous wife is an ex-convict (Grace) novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41 

He paused for a while before glancing at the two people, who 

were still dumbstruck. “Then don’t let them step into this house again.” 

Harold rocked back on his heels in shock and Lily immediately 

shivered. 

Jason’s words were undoubtedly telling these two that if they left 

without finding the ring, it would mean severing all ties with the Reed family. 

Seeing that Jason had left, Harold and Lily looked at each other in 

dismay. 

Although the pool in front of them was not too deep, it was still 

about 100 square meters. Even worse, the bottom of the pool 

was covered with mud and algae, so it would not be easy to find a 

small ring. 

Lily was about to cry. “Dad, what should I do? Do I really have to 

go down and look for the ring? Can’t we call someone or try and 

reason with Jason? This is ridiculous!” 

“The man doesn’t give a shit about your excuses, Lily. Whatever trouble you’ve caused, you have to solve it yourself. If the Reed Group really breaks ties with our family, you no doubt know what 

will happen to us in the future!” 

Since it was related to the future of his family, even though it was 

his daughter, Harold could not tolerate any resistance. 

Lily was silent. Of course, she knew that many of the big 

businesses in her family’s holdings relied on the Reed Group. If Jason turned hostile, it would be a devastating blow to her family. 

Lily felt helpless and could only walk into the pool step by step. It was so cold and the water smelled like a swamp. She began to look for the small ring, bending down and feeling along the 

bottom. 

She winced and screamed several times. When she scraped 

against rocks and god-knew-what. 

What if there were turtles? She could lose a finger. 

She had not expected Jason to take revenge for Grace. 

And now that he had, she wondered what else he might do to her 

next. 

When Jason returned to the apartment, he saw Grace washing clothes. 

Her hands were soaked in ice-cold water and they had already 

turned red from the cold. 

“Why don’t you use hot water?” he asked with a frown. 

“Hot water needs to be boiled, which will use a lot of electricity. 

Besides, if you wash with cold water for a while, your hands will 

start to heat up.” Grace said. She soaked the clothes again and 

wrung them out to dry. 

He took her hands in his. They were so, so cold. 

“Next time, use hot water when you wash clothes. Just use the 

electricity, and I will earn the money,” he said. 

She could not help laughing. She raised her hand and patted 

his shoulder. “It’s alright, I should save money whenever I can. 

There’ll be many places to spend money in the future. How was 

dinner with your colleagues tonight, was it enjoyable?”
